MATLAB: Scatter plot with different marker types

Question

I am looping through a bunch of data and want to use different marker styles (e.g. dots vs. crosses, etc.) for different categories of data. For example, for category A, I use this code:

            scatter(ZpercCat(sesh),norm_amp(sesh),'MarkerEdgeColor',rgb, ...
                'MarkerFaceColor',rgb)

to plot normal circles, and then I want to use crosses for category B using this code:

            scatter(ZpercCat(sesh),norm_amp(sesh),'MarkerEdgeColor',rgb, ...
                'MarkerFaceColor',rgb,'markertype','x')

but get the following error:

Error using specgraph.scattergroup/set
The name 'markertype' is not an accessible property for an instance of class
'scattergroup'.
Error in specgraph.scattergroup (line 26)
set(h,args{:});
Error in scatter (line 83)
      h = specgraph.scattergroup('parent',parax,'cdata',c,...

Answer 1

The scattergroup property name is marker
